(S03E14) And we're back for the big two week elimination show. It's a big week as it gets us down to the final four. After this, the competition gets serious. Anyone that makes it past tonight has a legitimate shot to win the whole thing. Emmitt & Cheryl kick things off after the judges pick them for the encore this week. That's a good choice. Emmitt has surprised me more than anyone else this season. He just keeps getting better.

Martina McBride takes the stage next to sing "This One's For The Girls." I wasn' t crazy about the dress. It looked like something from the Star Trek Maternity line. Wardrobe snafu aside, that's a good song. The musical guests this season have been really good. Being a top five show has it's perks.

Rachel Ray is in the audience? I've gone from thinking that she just doesn't sleep to contemplating the possibility that she might be twins. Or maybe even some kind of AI/Android from the future sent back to distract us with EVOO while they prepare the invasion. That leads to our first results. Mario & Karina are the first safe couple. They are joined by Emmitt & Cheryl, surprising nobody.

Six of Maksim's students perform a cha cha to "Billie Jean." It's a really good performance. I like how they were able to incorporate so many of Michael Jackson's moves while still making it seem original. I can't remember the last time I saw someone moonwalk. It was refreshingly retro.

Martina returns to perform while Edyta & Alec dance. How do you not like Cowgirl Edyta? As always, the best part of the results show is watching the professional dancers. This is another terrific performance by both of them. Back to the results, Joey & Edyta are safe and moving on to next week. That leaves Jerry & Kym and Monique & Louis in the bottom two.

In the end, Jerry & Kym are going home. I think it was a couple weeks late, but it's good that things are going to get serious as they make the final four run. Jerry handled the elimination well. He was humble, and funny. All things considered, he did the best he could given the situation. And lots of credit goes to Kym. She was handed a tough gig getting a partner with no dancing ability and managed to do quite well for herself. It's easy to see why she was the champion of DWTS Australia.

Next week, all bets are off. Monique is probably the dark horse just because she seems to have the least fan backing, but she isn't completely out of it yet either. Between Mario, Joey and Emmitt, it's still anyone's game to win. It should make for an interesting final few weeks.
